What happens when the son of your family friends starts becoming your worst nightmare or your biggest desire? This is what happened to me with Alex one hot summer night. A beach party, so much anger from him and so much fear of losing him from me. I followed him to the shore at night to be alone, without getting a look, a reply, or even a thank you for not leaving him alone despite him completely ignoring me. I just wanted to protect him, keep him safe and help him... but I was wrong. It’s been seven years since he last spoke to me, since that night, since that party. I got used to it, but there’s something inside me that keeps eating away at me. A lump in my throat that bothers me constantly and that I can’t get rid of. This summer I went back to South Beach and I can feel that something has changed, I’ve changed. Maybe, for the first time in a long time, I’ll be able to get close to him again.
